Dublin, Ireland
Founded as a Viking settlement, the city of Dublin has been Ireland's centre for a large part of the country's history. Ranked 10th in the Global Financial Centres Index, it is today a major economic centre, both for Ireland, and for Europe in general. During the Celtic Tiger years that roughly fell between the early 1990s and the early 2000s, Dublin saw massive economic growth, and in 2008 was in fact listed as the fifth richest city in the world. Although long famous for breweries and alcohol brands such as Guinness, the explosive economic growth the city enjoyed in the past fifteen years have made several multinational companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Yahoo! choose it as a centre for European operations. Industry giants such as Intel and Hewlett-Packard also have manufacturing plants in close proximity to the city, further strengthening Dublin's role as a business centre. In terms of business, banking and finance, Dublin is a giant in Europe, and a popular destination for business travellers everywhere.
Of course, part of Dublin's charm is its history, and much of that is entwined in its rich literary heritage. From Samuel Becket, to George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde, the city has produced some of English literature's greatest figures. Of course, Dublin was perhaps made most famous by James Joyce's short story collection Dubliners, and his then controversial novel Ulysses, both of which went on to win international acclaim. These works, as well as the writing of the aforementioned figures can be found at the National Print Museum of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland, and art and culture buffs would do well stop by even for a quick visit.
Of course, a visit to Dublin would not be complete without sampling its vibrant night life. From pubs, to clubs and photographic and art studios, Dublin's Temple Bar area is home to some of the city's best entertainment. A business centre that has not forgotten its rich cultural heritage, Dublin is a city that will deliver, both financially, and in terms of pure, unadulterated fun. Whether you're on business, or just visiting, rest assured that Dublin has something unique in store for you.
